Jones is going to destroy him. Vlad is a good fighter for sure, but to think that Jones isn't better than him (especially athletically) is kind of far fetched.

i never said that Jones isn't better than him. I said the opposite, actually.

I just disagree with people saying Vlad is a walkover win. Vlad is legit.

I will be so happy if Vlad lays on him for 3 rounds and everyone cries. Jones should beat him but Vlad will prove to be more of a challenge then Vera that's for sure.

I was grateful, I ran out of Nyquil, I watched that fight, I went fast asleep I didn’t even have to sit through all 25 minutes of it. So I was grateful. You know who should really thank him is Matt Hughes. Matt Hughes put his hands down more times than a professional athlete has ever done in a fight, truly. Matt Hughes throws a jab, drops his hands. Backs up, drops his hands. Moves left, drops his hands. Moves right, drops his hands. Matt Hughes should be thanking Anderson, ‘Hey look, I did horrible tonight, you just took the weight off me, thanks bro.’” So you were not impressed with Hughes and his performance against Gracie? “Who was? Of course not. You probably forget he was on the card until I reminded you.

People don’t care about him. He came out and said he’s gonna go heavyweight, no one cared. So he comes out and says well ‘I’m gonna go light heavyweight,’ no one cared. ‘Well I’m gonna retire.’ Good! Beat it, this is back page news, no one cares about you anyway. ‘Well I’m not gonna retire I’m gonna stick around.’ Or do that. Again, it doesn’t really matter, you’re a nuisance. So who cares, they go make the little action figures and the two little kids that bought em, are probably pretty upset, their parents probably thought it was Quinton Jackson when they bought it for them and the kids had a disappointing Christmas I would imagine.

amazing

Ive said it before, but ill say it again, Chael is going to look like the biggest douche in the world when he gets absolutely tooled by Anderson. And if you hate Anderson being lame and embarrassing people when he should be knocking them out, then don't feed him people who are going to talk this much crap about him, I'd want to embarrass him too.

And for anyone who says knocking him out is more embarassing, think about the line "I got caught", that every fighter uses when they get knocked out, as opposed to how dominant Anderson looks when the other guy just cant touch him.

if i recall from one of his interviews he said something along the lines of "i have no doubt hes the better fighter, but that doesnt mean hes tougher. i dont know how i can beat him, but im going to try and the tougher man will emerge victorious"

in between his glib remarks and poking fun he is definitely giving anderson credit for being the better fighter. hes just talking a lot of extraneous **** yet never talks bad about andersons fighting skills. all of which anderson deserves given his attitude and some of his performances

The best guys will be cutting weight and fighting 4 times in six weeks, which will sap your energy like crazy. They should NOT be conditioning every day, they should be honing skills and not overly exerting themselves. Tito is crazy, and it looks like Kasey is actually gonna call him out on it next week. Should be interesting.

Yea, I totally agree with this. Fighting four times in 6 weeks is a huge strain on the body and staying healthy is probably the single biggest factor for making it to the finals.

My memory is fuzzy but I think there was some mini drama on the comeback season where a bunch of the vets just said screw it, we're taking more rest days.

Yah, I am. I love him stepping away when Majour lost his mouthpiece.

I was upstairs when they mentioned Huerta, is he fighting tonight?

Hendricks (4-time AA, Twice national champ and once runner-up)
Couture ('92 NCAA runner up to Mark Kerr, three time US olympic alternate)
Sonnen (AA one year, two-time University national champion in Greco-Roman, US olympic team alternate)
Koscheck (4 time NCAA AA, placed 4th, 2nd, 1st, and 3rd in his 4 years)
Hughes (2 time NJCCA AA, 2 time NCAA AA)
Bader (2 time NCAA AA, 3 time Pac 10 champ)
Maynard (3 time NCAA AA)
Velasquez (NJCCA national champion, 2 time NCAA AA)

also, i was surprised to find that Sean Sherk apparently has no wrestling credentials. At least, none that I could find.

Collegiately Hendricks looks best here. He also won something like 50 matches in a row before losing the final his senior year in what was apparently a legendary upset. He lost only a few matches in his last 3 years at Oklahoma State.

Brock's credentials are pretty sick too

CVig,

I would say the top four currently in the UFC in terms of credentials in no order would be

Hendricks
Lesnar
Koscheck
Couture

Top three all had multi-year dominant runs in college, and Couture would have won a championship if Mark Kerr didn't exist, and went on to have a long national team run.

phil davis was a national champ. as was mark munoz. not sure what else they did but im sure they had nice results

i used to have a great site with searchable wrestling statistics for american guys that i lost when my comp reformatted and i cant find it again. i searched pretty much everybody i could think of and the most impressive stats i ever found were kurt angles. dude was insane.

obv he was no karelin, but angle was really really sick. another beastly credential list was randleman. not many 3 time national champs

^^^^Pretty sure it's just random bruise patterns, but this area looks similar to when you slap someone on the back/chest and leave palm/finger marks. Except these would be toes.
